Gift ideas for the food fanatic on your list

Some people are a cinch to shop for come the holiday

season, while others can be more of an enigma. When

it comes to the latter, shoppers should determine what

tickles their mysterious friend or family member’s fancy,

such as a favorite hobby or even something to do with his

or her profession.

Food is a passion for many people and provides holiday

shoppers with a great opportunity to make a loved one’s

holiday season even more special. Perhaps thanks to the

increase in cable networks focusing on food, foodies, those

people with an appreciation and passion for cuisine, have

grown in number in recent years, and holiday shoppers

with foodies on their lists have a host of potential gift

options at their disposal.

* Cooking class: Many foodies don’t just like eating food

but cooking their favorite cuisine as well. For those who

like to get their hands dirty before fi lling their bellies,

consider paying for a cooking class. Many communities

have cooking classics for various types of cuisine, so

consult your friend or family member, asking them which

cuisine they’d like to learn and when they’re available. Or

let them fi nd their own class and then pay for the class.

This can be a great way for foodies to learn something new

and meet fellow food afi cionados along the way.

* Specialty spices: Spices can make the difference between

an ordinary meal that’s void of fl avor and a meal that’s

so fl avorful it won’t soon be forgotten. When spicing

things up for a foodie this holiday season, don’t just buy

regular spices at the grocery store. For example, instead

of standard cinnamon, buy a specialty spice like Mexican

or Vietnamese cinnamon. Such specialty spices can add

extra fl avor to a meal while becoming the go-to spice for

the home chef among your friends and family members.

* Pressure cooker: Many foodies are fawning over pressure

cooking, which can cut down on cooking times without

sacrifi cing nutrition. Some recipes may take half the time

to prepare with a pressure cooker as they might with a

more traditional cooking method, an important time

saving element that’s attractive to foodies who want to

enjoy their favorite foods but feel pressed for time on

weeknights. And while pressure cookers employ steam to

cook foods quickly, that steam also traps fl avor, whereas

boiling can wash fl avor out.

Many foodies also laud pressure cookers for their

nutritional benefi ts. Steaming certain foods can intensify

their fl avor, which allows cooks to rely less on potentially

unhealthy additions like salt or butter to ensure a meal is

fl avorful.

* Serving dishes: Of course, many foodies want to share

the fruits of their labors with friends and family. For the

person who loves throwing dinner parties, consider some

serving dishes this holiday season. Serving dishes can

range from casual (for the foodie who can’t wait to fi re

up the grill) to formal (for the gourmet foodie), so get a

feel of your friend or family member’s preferences before

purchasing a set of serving dishes.

* Cookbook: The ideal fallback item for holiday shoppers

who can’t seem to fi nd anything for their favorite foodies,

cookbooks fi lled with recipes for dishes from their favorite

type of cuisine (i.e., Italian, Thai, Cajun, etc.) are sure to

please. When gifting with a cookbook, peruse a few of its

recipes to determine if there are any special ingredients

that appear throughout. If there are, purchase these

ingredients and gift them as well.

Gift the foodie on your holiday shopping list with something that encourages their love of cuisine.
